    I've been using this desi chana for over a month now. It cooks evenly and has that authentic earthy taste. Highly recommend it for vegetarians looking for clean protein.

    The chana is clean and fresh, but even after 10 hours of soaking, it took 6 whistles in the cooker. Taste is great once done – just plan ahead.

    Made a Punjabi chole with this and it was a family hit. The texture held up perfectly and the flavour was just like what we get in Delhi. Will order again.

    We love hearing that, Rohit! Our chana is indeed perfect for authentic recipes.

    The product itself is decent, but the pouch arrived with a small tear. No grains spilled, but it could have been better sealed. Please improve your packing.

    We apologise for the packaging issue, Neha. We're upgrading our seals to prevent this.

    I bought this specifically for sprouting and it worked wonderfully. Almost 90% germinated within 36 hours. Makes a great healthy salad. Very happy!

    Perfect for sundal

    I used this for making South Indian sundal – the texture was firm and the taste was authentic. Highly recommended.

    Glad you liked it! Sundal is a great way to enjoy chana.

    The taste is fine, but I found a fair amount of broken chanas and some husk in the bag. Not a huge issue for cooking, but I expected more whole grains.

    Thanks for the feedback, Vikram. We'll double-check our sorting process for better uniformity.

    Minor issue with soaking time

    The chana took a bit longer to soften than expected – about 10 hours of soaking and 40 minutes in the pressure cooker. But the taste was good.

    Vikram Singh review photo

    Thank you for your feedback. Soaking times can vary based on age and storage. We recommend soaking overnight for best results.

    Great for chaat

    Made a delicious chana chaat with this – the beans had a nice bite and absorbed the spices well. Definitely buying again.

    I dry-roasted these with some salt and pepper – they turned out so crunchy and tasty. Much healthier than store-bought namkeen. My kids love them.

    The chana I received were smaller and darker than shown on the website. Taste is okay, but I feel the visuals were misleading. Still a decent product.

    We appreciate the honest feedback, Karan. Desi chana naturally varies in size – we'll update our product images to reflect real batches better.

    Absolutely authentic

    This is the real deal – small, dark, and with that distinct nutty flavour. Reminds me of my grandmother's chana.

    My father is diabetic and our doctor recommended desi chana for its low GI. This one is very clean and cooks soft enough for him to eat. Thank you NatureLink.

    Good but not extraordinary

    It's decent quality chana, but I've had better from local mills. Still, the convenience of online ordering is a plus.
